RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Vico is designed as a functional piece of furniture with a modern bathroom concept. Its modular structure offers flexibility while adapting to different bathroom sizes. During the research process, a user experience and ergonomics-focused approach defined the criteria for storage and practical use. Details such as a scratch- and moisture-resistant lacquered body, acrylic washbasin, and soft-close drawers ensure long-lasting durability. The IP67 Led-lit mirror and impact-resistant tempered smoked glass shelves provide an aesthetically pleasing bathroom environment. Vico is an ideal solution for contemporary living spaces.
CHALLENGE: Vico stands out from traditional bathroom furniture with its modular structure, customizable options, and functional design. The biggest challenge in the development of Vico was creating a flexible system that adapts to various bathroom sizes. To maximize storage without compromising on aesthetics and durability, materials such as a scratch- and moisture-resistant lacquered body and a hygienic acrylic washbasin were selected.
